Plants Delivered Chicago is Chicago’s local online plant shop. Order online, and have plants tall and small hand delivered to your door by me and my trusty pals, Gerald (Blue heeler) and Jojo (some kind of red dog).

Founded in December of 2019, PDC began as a side project that me and G (Gerald) would do in our spare time after clocking out from our corporate job. We would fire up the old ford (1970 ford f-100) and take off to see what plants we could find to offer for sale and hopefully help them find a new home with people that would find us on FB marketplace.

Plants Delivered Chicago was born from a time in our life when we were battling addiction to alcohol and needed to find a new path. Newly sober and looking for a hobby other than finding the next great cocktail joint or Michelin starred restaurant, we knew there had to be more to life than just chasing a buzz or trying to find the next cool restaurant to go indulge at.

A fun hobby and side hustle, it was a nice change of pace from the monotony and lack of purpose we felt from working their 9-5 role and being stuck in this work hard, play hard culture of the sales and finance worlds. By April of 2020, me and Gerald clocked out for the last time, slammed our laptop shut and never went back to the corporate grind ever again. I actually vowed to never look at a spreadsheet ever again and to this day I refuse to open a laptop. I Still don’t own one.

We have always strived to be more than just another online plant shop, which is why since we started, we have partnered up with organizations like The Greater Chicago Food Depository, animal rescue organizations and local humanitarian groups to make a large social impact in the community. We have used our plant sales to raise money to create meals in the fight against food insecurity and hunger that plagues communities all around us, we have rescued countless animals from high kill states in our very own plant van turned animal rescue mobile, and have used our time and finances to personally help house, shelter and support countless neighbors here in Chicago

Since founding “Feeding People Through Plants” in March of 2020, we have been able to collectively raise over 100,000 meals (and counting) for the Greater Chicago Food Depository and other local humanitarian groups that address homelessness and food insecurity here in the city we love.

It’s a dream to have built a business that has done so much more than just sell plants over the years. I get to ride around with my dogs all day, deliver plants, work with incredible clients, and hopefully be able to continue doing work that is about more than being just another plant shop.

We believe that no matter who you are, no matter what neighborhood you’re in, that everyone gets a plant. That’s why delivery is free across all of Chicago.

From plant newbie to plant pro, we are here to help! 

Thanks for checking us out and we are excited to share our love for plants with the city we love!
